We will be arriving in Barcelona a few days prior to our January cruise. Any advice on reasonably priced hotels and the best location in the city? Normally I look for hotels on Expedia but have not had to book a hotel in another country.

I know folks who liked the HUSA hotel in Barcelona. There have been several discussions about Barcelona hotels in this section. If you click on "Find" and type in Barcelona, you can see previous discussions on this topic.
